Joe Lieberman Attacks Barack Obama On Fox News (Video)

LIEBERMAN: Well, I think that – let me say generally that Sen. Obama doesn’t come to this debate with a lot of credibility. Basically on the question of Iraq, John McCain has had the guts to stand out on his own arguing for what he thought was right. And it turned out that he was right about the surge working to improve conditions in Iraq.

If we did what Sen. Obama wanted us to do last year, Al-Qaeda in Iran would be in control of Iraq today. The whole Middle East would be in turmoil and American security and credibility would be jeopardized.

On the specific question of the 100 years, I think that’s an unfortunate example of the way Sen. Obama has used it, of playing political gotcha with a national security question.

Joe Lieberman, attack chihuahua. Doesn’t appear to be an April Fool’s joke.

Maybe all the national Democrats busy lobbing grenades at each other could spare a few for Slummy Joe?
